Tales of Elendia : Part 1 (recruiting)

Tales of Elendia

Storyline
There was a time when men were at peace with themselves

A time when children could live without wielding a weapon to protect them.

That time ended with the assault on the planet of Elendia.

Mysterious casualties arose in many of the larger kingdoms

Many women were taken, to where no one knew.

The men fought to find their beloveds, but never succeeded.

The Castle of Argus is left whole, it's small island untouched by the unknown forces.

Soon they learn of the mysterious happenings, and after the same happens to Argus.

A prince turns up captive, a wife taken, a child lost, and a man left unwhole.

Who, or what are causing people to dissappear? What is happening to the people?

Will these questions be answered? Or will more arise?


Dialog from In game
"Renia, What did you do to her!?" - Tanis
"It seems that you seek your wife, I will assist you. I have nothing to lose in this folly of a village." - Yuri'e
"You do realize who I am, I am you, and you are me. We, are One" - Unknown
"Sometimes a woman has to do, what a man should do!" - Yumi
"Knowing what I know now, I could never love you again" - Shina


I have some info on a few of the characters. I hope you all enjoyed the storyline (There's so much more I want to say, but I mustn't.....I MUSTN'T!) as much as I did writing it. Please feel free for questions but I won't leak anymore on the story ^_^

Main Characters so far!

Name: Tanis (T-A-Nis, Yes I realize it sounds like Anus with a T)
Class: Twin Blader
Description: A man who serves his king with respect and dignity, but because he failed to do ask his king ordered him to he is deprived of his title and cast from the kingdom. He is the age of 28. He struggles to find his inner self. A demon that previously had stalked Elendia constantly tries to break free from his grasp.
Quote : Why? So many have been taken from me. Those who remain doubt my sanity. How much longer must I endure this torment? The one's I love are lost, i have nothing to live for...so why do I continue my search? The one who took her, Renia, I have to find him. If I find him, I find her. If I find her, I find the strength to save them all. She is my only hope.

Name: Kayain (Kuh-A-een)
Class: Man-Slayer
Description: An ancient demon who used to be renowned as hell's greatest man slayer. His soul was sealed within the body of a great warrior when the great sages discovered he was on their planet of Elendia. Now his soul is trapped within Tanis', his lust for blood causes him to claw his way out of Tanis' body. Tanis' subconsciouses melts into the back of Kayain's mind until Tanis again regains control of his body.
Quote: I will tell you where you are wrong, woman, I am not a mere mortal, I am a DEMON. If you can get that through your head maybe you can understand the dire consequences you may have imposed upon yourself by striking me. Now be gone before I make a wretch out of you.

Dive into the stories of many unique characters as they discover everything has been taken from them, and only one thing is given to them...the power to take everything back.

There are lots of other characters (Playable and non-playable) that I'd like to introduce but I can't at the present time. I hope this small introduction to this series has sparked up some interest!

I have started to compile a bug testing demo. It's roughly 1.5 - 2hrs long. Hopefully I can get all the bugs and such fixed. If your interested in testing T.O.E for bugs then please message me either in these forums or at www.creationasylum.net I won't have it finished for about another week or so though, still, feel free to request testing. Thank you for your interest in T.O.E. i will update this post every other day with T.O.E's progress.

Comments
At the current time I am using the default battle system, however I would like to incorporate CrushD's Star ocean battle script once it is completed. If that time does not come before the first tales of elendia project is completed I will stick with the default battle system.

T.O.E's Progress thus far.

Storyline - 35%
Maps - 5%
Scripts - 50%
Music - 25%
Characters - 25%

I am currently looking for mappers, scripters, and possibly a graphics designer. (creating face sets, tile sets, char. sets ect.)

I'm sorry to say Tales of Elendia will go on a slight 1 week break during September 2nd through the 10th (A week and 1 day XD) I have just started my senior year and am getting things settled down. I'm hoping to make T-shirts and such if anyone is interested in any, but that won't be for at least 2 months from now.

Tanis's profile just seems to be a mix of pretty words that appear to make no sense. Why was he cast out? That aside, he's described to be you typical protagonist. Askaroth and Zeeq seem to be pretty typical sidekicks as well, one being the butt and the other the middleman. And a demon? Are you talking about Kayain here? I understand keeping the audience in the dark, but don't leave them blind.

While a little difficult to understand because you had intentionally not told everything yet, the premise in all does not really stand out for me. I can neither say it's good or bad, really. Let's write that up as a good thing, since it's only just the beginning of development of your project and there's always room to adjust.

You might want to fix the formatting and organization of ideas in your post a little better since it looks rather unpleasant right now. Other than that, you seem to have everything in order and I wish you the best of luck in working on this project.
 
alright, Thanks for the input. I'll work on this some more ^_^

Well it's early and I revamped the Topic a bit, hope that makes it a slight bit more appealing and organized. I'm off to bed now. Please feel free to leave comments on anything you like or dislike. g'night everyone!
